• Avengers: Infinity War ? the death, the destruction and Thanos ? discuss with spoilers - 26 April
• Will the post-credit sequence prove key? Is Josh Brolin?s Titan the villain the franchise has been waiting for? And how about that ending? ?This article contains spoilers
  ? Sign up for Film Today and get our film team?s highlights of the dayIt is tempting to wonder quite how the bigwigs at Disney must have reacted when the ending of Avengers: Infinity War was first revealed to them. ?So let me get this straight,? they might have said, visions of billions of dollars in lost merchandise revenue whirling in front of their eyes. ?You?re going to kill off half of all the superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the only guy ? Doctor Strange ? capable of bringing them back??In terms of far-out creative decisions, this one is right up there with Luke Skywalker?s declaration in Star Wars: The Last Jedi that he wanted nothing to do with laser sword-wielding space monks. Except that this time, we have to wait a whole year ? until the sequel to Infinity War ? to see if there?s any way of reversing it. Continue reading...
• Dancing with death: the murky ethics of filming people in life-threatening danger - 26 April
• The Deminer follows a Kurdish mine-disposal expert as he risks life and limb every day. But are documentary-makers ? and the audience ? complicit?? Sign up for Film Today and get our film team?s highlights of the day Fakhir Berwari ? or ?Crazy Fakhir?, as the Americans dubbed the Kurdish Peshmerga colonel ? did some of the deadliest work on the planet. Without robots or blast suits, he disarmed thousands of mines; first in the aftermath of the second Gulf war, then, after a layoff enforced by the loss of his right leg, during the reconquest of Iraq from the Islamic State. The latter was more dangerous: Isis packed abandoned houses with IEDs in entranceways, under rubble, inside furniture. We see the colonel teetering from fatigue, but always ready to go the extra mile. ?Fakhir knew he was the fastest and the most experienced,? says Hogir Hirori, director of The Deminer. ?If he didn?t do it, then many more people would die.?The Deminer makes for nervous viewing. Each of the four detonations we see ratchets up the sense of inevitability. It?s not quite a snuff movie, though haunted by a similar balefulness. What moral responsibilities do documentary-makers have when their subject is a danger to himself? Continue reading...
• Nothing Like a Dame review ? Judi Dench and Maggie Smith trade brutal banter - 26 April
• Dench, Smith, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright engage in a round-table war of theatrical anecdotes in this outrageously funny film? Sign up for Film Today and get our film team?s highlights of the dayThe laughter and pure hysteria are infectious in this wildly enjoyable film. I can?t for the life of me think of any other recent documentary in which I have laughed pretty much all the way through. It is nothing more nor less than an acerbic round-table chat between four of British theatre?s most famed dames: Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Eileen Atkins and Maggie Smith, which takes place at the country home Plowright shared with her late husband, Laurence Olivier (I seem to remember it being the site of Melvyn Bragg?s South Bank Show special on Olivier in the 80s).This is basically an Avengers Infinity War of theatrical anecdotery: outrageously camp, with sensational stills and archive footage and very brisk assessment of the past ? utterly unsentimental. Why is it when female stars of this calibre appear in a fiction feature together it?s always a horribly twee ordeal ? when this shows they can be brutally funny? Continue reading...
• New York Times exposé of Harvey Weinstein to be made into movie - 26 April
• The Pulitzer prize-winning work of two female journalists is to become a film in the mould of Spotlight and All the President?s Men ? Sign up for Film Today and get our film team?s highlights of the dayThe investigation by New York Times reporters into allegations of sexual misconduct against Harvey Weinstein that led to the downfall of the Hollywood mogul is to be made into a film.
  The as-yet-untitled project, to which no stars or directors are yet formally attached, will focus on the work of reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, who faced down intimidation and threats to reveal the scale of abuse allegedly perpetrated by one of the most influential figures in modern cinema.

• Ken Loach should be denied doctorate, says Belgian PM in antisemitism row - 26 April
• Charles Michel says comments about Israel mean the Free University of Brussels should drop plan to honour the film directorBelgium?s prime minister has criticised one of the country?s leading universities over its plan to honour the film director Ken Loach, following complaints that it has overlooked alleged antisemitism. In a speech at Brussels Grand Synagogue to mark the 70th anniversary of Israel?s foundation, Charles Michel said on Wednesday night that Loach?s comments about Israel and its policy towards Palestinians justified the withdrawal of the honour.

• Crazy Rich Asians: can the romcom be a gamechanger for representation? - 25 April
• Hollywood has been reluctant to take a chance on east Asian and south-east Asian stories. But a seductive, crowd-pleasing comedy is following US TV?s lead in bringing their voices to the screen
  ? Sign up for Film Today and get our film team?s highlights of the dayI have been on my toes in anticipation for Crazy Rich Asians since Entertainment Weekly put the film?s stars, Constance Wu and Henry Golding, on its cover in November. It is 25 years since Wayne Wang?s Chinese-American family saga The Joy Luck Club and, ever since, Hollywood has largely avoided commissioning south-east Asian (SEA) and east Asian (EA) stories. But the movie?s seductive, funny trailer suggests it will mark an important moment for both communities? presence in the mainstream.Directed by John M Chu, adapting Kevin Kwan?s bestselling book, the film portrays the opulent lives of affluent south-east Asians through the conventional, commercial lens of romantic comedy. The all-Asian cast is led by Wu, best known for her role in US sitcom Fresh Off the Boat, playing an economics professor who travels with boyfriend Nick (British-Malaysian actor Golding) to Singapore for his best friend?s wedding only to discover he is the son of the richest families in town (?The Prince William of Asia?, as she calls him). Rachel has to navigate the Dynasty-like world of Singapore?s wealthy elite, and avoid the sharp tongue of Nick?s mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh), who, in the words of Rachel?s brazen friend, played by the comedian Awkwafina, is just like an ?unrefined banana: yellow on the outside, white on the inside?.
